It is very important to puncture the idea that the Arabs have been motivated by anti imperialism. What they were motivated by was good, old fashioned anti Jew hatred.

Leon Trotsky was asked what was his political position towards the 1929 Arab attacks against the Jews?:

He answered that he had not yet studied the issue adequately and that he was in the process of doing so. That he did not know what elements were involved, anti British feeling in other words anti imperialism, (I paraphrase) or whether it was the hatred of the Arab, Islam [using specifically the word “Mohammedans”] for Jews, in other words anti-Semitism.

Francisco Gil White made a very thorough study of this and his study cuts the ground from under the anti imperialist part of the answer of Trotsky.

That the Arabs are anti imperialist is a dominant theme inside the revisionist Left now and for a long time past. It is a strange concept because it is blatantly obvious that the ruling capitalist class governments of every country under the sun are up to their necks in collaboration with the Arab rulers.

So when the revisionist Left come forward and also support the Arabs they are singing from the same hymn sheet as their own governments. Some Left!

The most that you can say about the Arab regimes is that they are also imperialist and that they are competing with other imperialist powers on a world stage. And this fits the bill because we know that Islam conquered half the known world and was a bloody and an imperialist force. Yet the US with EU is the dominant force. One does not negate the other.

In order to make Islam or Arabs in to anti imperial forces the revisionist Left really have to invent this in their own heads. Make it fit their own schema, and this is what Nathan Weinstock was doing, thus Gil White was correct to tackle Nathan Weinstock head on

[Begin quote from Francisco Gil White here]

As you may recall from Part 1, even anti-Zionist historian Nathan Weinstock recognizes that the ‘Palestinian movement’ in British Mandate ‘Palestine’ was not exactly admirable. It was, he says, “deformed by racism.” Racism against whom? The British? That should be the first hypothesis for a movement that Weinstock calls “the Palestinian anti-colonialist movement,” because the British were the occupying imperialist/colonialist power in charge. But no, as Weinstock himself concedes, this movement was racist against the Jews (Zionist or not, mind you). Weinstock’s admission that the ‘Palestinian’ movement’s flag was anti-Jewish racism is important because it comes from someone who would like to defend the justice of this movement.

Precisely in order to defend this movement, Nathan Weinstock would like you to think that the violent racism of so-called ‘Palestinian’ Arabs was “understandable” because, he claims, the Zionist Jews and the British were “clearly” allied with each other against the Arabs (see Part 1). This representation is absurd. As Weinstock himself admits,

1) the British imperialists were helping the Arabs kill Jews (see Part 1 for Weinstock’s admission; British support for anti-Jewish terrorist violence is documented below);

and as Weinstock also admits,

2) the Arab feudal lords in ‘Palestine’ incited racist violence against the Jews in order to create a climate to intimidate fellow Arabs who might want to get along with the mostly socialist Jews, the better to further exploit the downtrodden Arab commoners (see Part 3)

Therefore, it is amazing that Weinstock, who says he is an anti-imperialist Marxist, should not defend the interpretation that the British ruling class and the Arab ruling class were allied against ordinary Arabs and Jews. After all, as I also show in Part 3, the Zionist Jews had no role in oppressing the Arabs; on the contrary, the Zionist Jews were indirectly and directly helping to end the oppression which the Arab (effendi) feudal lords made the ordinary (fellahin) peasant Arabs to suffer.

Nathan Weinstock would also like you to think that this allegedly ‘Palestinian’ movement was an expression of a Palestinian Arab “national consciousness.” But this is quite impossible. As I show in Part 1, the ideology of this movement was just plain old anti-Jewish racism, of the traditional sort in the Muslim world, and quite comparable — notwithstanding Weinstock’s loud protestations to the contrary — to the traditional European anti-Jewish racism that produced the Shoah (Holocaust). Moreover, as I show in Part 2, ‘Palestine’ as such never existed, and neither was there ever any such thing as an ‘Arab Palestinian’ population with a ‘Palestinian identity,’ much less Weinstock’s alleged “national consciousness.” Most of the so-called ‘Palestinian Arabs,’ as I also show in Part 2, were immigrants from elsewhere attracted by the economic boom that the Zionist Jews created when they transformed a desolate land into an oasis (few people are even aware of this).

So, although Nathan Weinstock may refer to the racist movement that killed innocent Jews in British Mandate ‘Palestine’ as the “Palestinian anti-colonialist movement,” the well-documented facts suggest that this movement had absolutely nothing to do with fighting colonialism. On the contrary, the aristocratic Arab leaders of repeated terrorist violence against ordinary Arabs and Jews were directly sponsored and assisted by the colonialist British Mandate government and the colonialist British military, as I will document below in some detail. It was this British sponsorship and assistance that initially set in motion the so-called ‘Palestinian movement.’ Later, the Nazis would also sponsor it. And after that, the United States.

Anybody who chooses to defend the ‘Palestinian movement’ should do so in full awareness of the facts documented below.

[End quote from Gil White here]

The above is from an article titled “How did the Palestinian movement emerge? The British sponsored it. Then the German Nazis, and the US”

Gil White does then an outstanding job in showing how German and Italian Nazi propaganda against the Jews flooded the Middle East and all Arab countries. There was machinery in place and a structure that enabled this.

Gil White tells of how the German Government of Hitler was flooded with congratulations when and because it had passed the Nuremburg Laws, congratulations coming from all parts of the Arab world.

A question related to this must be answered. Why did the Nazi propaganda against Jews receive such a ready hearing in the Arab countries? Is there something connected to being an Arab that enabled the Nazi propaganda to be effective?

This brings to the question of Islam, the ideology which drives the Arab movement. John Bostom and Robert Spencer in their knowledge of the Koran have done important work which helps to answer this question. [We will examine their work later]

The study of this 1930s period and how the Arab world mobilized against the Jews is of great importance to the present. Instead of there being a Fascist movement as there was Hitler and Mussolini, there is today another Fascist movement, which is strangely enough concentrated outside Israel in the combined and united efforts of the revisionist “Left”, really a Fascist Nazi type movement in its anti-Semitic ideology, linked up with the openly Fascist anti-Semitic Islam which is operating like a rash in all countries, especially in countries in Europe, where the invective against Jews is strongest. You can see this Fascist movement of the revisionist “left” as they attempt to isolate and destroy the Jewish Homeland with their urgings for boycott, also in the caravans and boat sailings to break the “siege” of Gaza. They help and hand over money to a Jew killing and Jew hating movement in Hamas in Gaza, while Fatah’s exactly the same, although some very stupid Israeli Jews seek to work with Fatah. Meanwhile state governments such as that of Bush and Obama have been in alliance with Arabs and Islam against the Jewish Homeland. The aim is to bring the Jewish Homeland down. There can be no other aim because these are not stupid people.

Over the past 20 years the Iranian regime has made many threats to destroy Israel. Yet we hear people who argue in the west that Iran does not pose any threat to Israel. Just last week Iran has perfected a very advanced rocket which can reach Israel. There is no outcry. It seems that public opinion has been conditioned by many events and much propaganda to be totally blasé at the thought of Israel being struck by a Nuclear Bomb.

The world thus is not obsessed with the thought of Israel being hit by a Nuclear Bomb and the deaths of millions, which actually would include many Arabs as well. The world is obsessed with the war which Israel fought against Hamas, a war that was forced on to Israel, which it tried to avoid for many years. Even an imbecile should be able to see that.

Very alarming is the position of the trade unions, who on this issue are part of this Fascist force we mentioned above, even though Fascism will scrap all union organization. As we shall see later anti-Semitism is blind in its fury! The Fascist and Nazi British Trade Union Congress passes a resolution to isolate Israel, at this time! British unions are a strange ideological concoction but…There are shades here of the pact which Stalin made with Hitler in 1939.

Some reading I have been doing centres on references to a German Nazi called Rudolf Hoss

I will jot some points down now and edit them on Monday…

Rudolf Hoss, the Commandant of the largest concentration camp in Poland, was in 1942 called to a meeting with Himmler and was told that the Fuhrer had given the order for “a final solution of the Jewish Question”

“We the SS must carry out that order. If it is not carried out now the Jews will later on destroy the German people”

[Page 702, Hitler, by John Toland]

The parallel is clear

Everybody seems to discard the lies that Iran has been caught out in spreading. The Iran Government was caught out hiding the secret plant in Qom. They have also been caught out contradicting each other. Yet there are many people who believe Iran when it says it is looking for peaceful nuclear targets. They are expecting Iran to be telling the truth and not expecting Iran to be liars. The only answer for this psychosis is that people have been already indoctrinated in to a great hatred for Israel.

Back to Toland

“The decision taken the Fuhrer made it known to those entrusted with the Final Solution that the killings should be done as humanely as possible”

[Page 703, Hitler by John Toland]

The horror of this statement is explained by Toland, and it is alarming.

Toland explains that Hitler was under the influence of Christian antisemitism, and felt that he was doing their work in eliminating this “menace” to humanity, the Jews.

It is very similar to the speeches of Ahmadinejad re Zionists, the same thing really

Toland quotes Hitler directly

“I am now as before a catholic, and will always remain so”

Toland

“…he carried within him its teaching that the Jew was the killer of God”

“…The extermination therefore could be done without a twinge of conscience since he was merely acting as the avenging hand of God so long as it was done impersonally without cruelty

There is an almost exact parallel from the Hitler of 1941 to the Ahmadinejad and the Revolutionary Guards of today. The religion is different but the concept is the same.

Hitler was operating in the midst of incredible losses in the Russian Front.

These pages by Toland are very important because it is shown that no matter that the Germans were being threshed by the Russians, and this had a serious effect on Hitler, his health, his manner, his appearance, yet he did not ever lose sight of the extermination of the Jews

“My prophesy shall be fulfilled that this war will not destroy Aryan humanity but it will destroy the Jew. Whatever the battle may bring in its course or however long ity may last, that will be its final course”

Toland Page 709

Toland perceptively adds to this the following

“The elimination of Jewry overrode victory itself”

In conclusion I believe that something very similar is happening around the personage of Ahmadinejad and the crazy chaos inducing Mahdi returning bullshit of the Shia religion of Islam that is driving Ahmadinejad on to create a great massacre of the Jews, the meaning of his drive for Nuclear arms, in order to do just that.

It is well to remember at this time that Hitler emerged right out of the Christian ethos and that the ground for the Holocaust was laid long before.

What dominates everything in the world today is the political and economic crisis in the capitalist system. This is a stinking corpse, in terminal decline and nothing shows this better than that there is a real possibility of a new Shoah of the Jews at the hands of the Iranian Fascists.

Some people think that opposition to Ahmadinejad by courageous youth in Iran means a weakening and a lessening of the threat to israel. In fact the very opposite is the casde.

More and more power is concentrated in the hands of the fundamentalists, the revolutionary guard element.

But the real danger to incineration of Jews again comes from the US Imperialists under Obama, the European antisemites and pro Arabists like Zapatero (see the Southern Sahara case), but most of all from the supine leaders in Israel itself

We on 4international say that there must be a huge campaign in Israel and outside, to concentrate on uniting with Netanyahu and forcing Netanyahu to act immediately with the IAF against the Iranian Nuclear bomb making.

This must be made the centre of all activity of Israeli, jewish and pro Israeli groups. There must be marches, demonstrations, calls by every group and it must focus on this very issue.

Essentially all other issues pale into insignificance in comparision to this.

This struggle will mean a war against the Staslinists and revisionist Lefts like Chomsky. The most important thing is the creation of a true trotskyist party on Trotskyist principles.

This latter struggle to build up Trotskyism means to take up a struggle against the sceptics like Ayn reagan and yamit82 on Israpundit, and also on pro US Imperialists like Ted belman on the same site, and on others.

This is the purpose of 4international, to fight for this.

In so far as DEBKAfile has got its information correct, and it seems to be correct given everything we know about Obama and netanyahu, the following report has to be taken most seriously, studied and acted upon.

Please leave ideas and comments at the end.

[Begin Debka report on Iran Bomb here]

US president Barack Obama’s tough talk of sanctions has melted into soft soap for luring Iran into further dialogue. Adopting the reverse tactic, Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sounds almost reasonable for a change, even as Tehran pushes its revolutionary goals as pugnaciously as ever.

DEBKAfile‘s Washington sources disclose Saturday, Dec. 19 that official US warnings that Washington’s patience is running out and tough sanctions are imminent are no more than a smokescreen for three major steps embarked on by the Obama administration in the last four days for dragging out sanctions and setting back military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu gave the US president another six months for diplomacy without the threat of military action when they met at the White House November 9. The first six months’ grace runs out at the end of Dec. 2009. The second ends in mid-2010. Netanyahu was backed up by defense minister Ehud Barak who said Monday, Dec. 14: “There is still time for diplomatic action to stop Iran.”

Using the respite, our sources report that the US president offered three inducements for tempting Tehran to call off its military program:

1. Whereas Tuesday, Dec. 15, Congress approved penalties for firms selling Iran gasoline and the insurance companies underwriting its sale, the following day, the influential senator John Kerry announced through his spokesman Frederic Jones that the Foreign Relations Committee, which he heads, “needs time to consider the bill.”

“Funding delays and enhancements to the planned test schedule have pushed the capability availability date to Dec. 2010,” she announced.

Only five months ago, in August, the US Air Force announced that the 15-ton bomb for delivery by B-2 stealth bombers had been funded and would be ready for service in July 2010.

Washington is thus offering Tehran another six months to play with, free of threat of sanctions and safe from the bombardment of its subterranean nuclear facilities.

3. Over the weekend beginning Friday, Dec. 18, Israeli newspaper correspondents briefed by administration officials ran stories denigrating Mossad director Meir Dagan as the only Israeli official hold-out on the need to attack Iran. He is presented as being in the grip of a fixation detrimental to his handling of other key issues. One editorial advised the Israeli government to learn to live with a nuclear-armed Iran.

But the Obama administration’s lures had at least one result: Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, speaking from the Copenhagen climate conference, said:

“Everything is possible, 400 kilos, 800 kilos, it’s nothing,” for enrichment abroad, “but not in a climate where they threaten us. From the outset, delivery of 1,200 kilos of uranium was not a problem for us, but if they believe they can wave a stick to threaten us, those days are over. They have to change their vocabulary to respect and legality.”

While preaching to others about sticks, the Iranian president must have thought the big sticks Tehran waved in the last four days alone were invisible.

Wednesday, Dec. 12, Tehran launched an improved Sejil 2 missile which DEBKAfile‘s military sources confirm is capable of penetrating US and Israeli anti-missile defense shields and defying their interceptors, although US and Israeli sources were at pains to play down its capabilities. Those sources report that Sejil-2 is loaded with electronic chips used as decoys to mislead the electronic systems of the Israeli Arrow 2 and the US Patriot, Aegis and THAAD anti-missile missile systems.

Only last week, furthermore, Tehran signed a new military pact with Syria, roping in the Lebanese Hizballah and Palestinian Hamas as second-strike wielders; Wednesday, the “Iranian Cyber Army” hacked into Twitter and filled its home page with anti-US slogans; for most of December, Iran-backed Yemeni rebels have kept Saudi and government forces on the run and, Friday, Iranian soldiers seized control of an Iraqi oil well in a disputed border region.

All the same, Obama’s beckoning gestures and Ahmadinejad’s smooth response indicate a fresh round of talks will be explored between the 5P+1 bloc (five Security Council permanent members plus Germany) and Iran before sanctions are broached or either the US or Israel resort to military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities.

This means that Washington’s determined ultimatum to Iran to comply with its international obligations by the end of 2009 has been extended by a whole year – an extra six months granted by Israeli up to June 2010 and another six months which President Obama tagged on himself in order to further delay an Israeli attack on Iran.

By then, it will all be over: Tehran will have attained a nuclear weapon plus the means of delivery.

Saturday, an Iranian military spokesman declared: “Our forces are on our own soil, and based on the known international borders this well belongs to Iran.”

It is not hard to imagine how Tehran will comport itself once it has “the bomb.”

[End Debka report here]

WHAT THE ABOVE SAYS IS CLEAR

“By then, it will all be over: Tehran will have attained a nuclear weapon plus the means of delivery.”

ESSENTIALLY THIS MEANS THAT THE MOBILIZATION MUST TAKE PLACE ON A BROAD FRONT, IN ISRAEL, IN EUROPE, ESPECIALLY IN AMERICA

ISRAEL MUST STRIKE IMMEDIATELY AGAINST THE IRANIAN BOMB MAKING AND ROCKET DELIVERY SYSTEMS

NETANYAHU MUST STOP GABBLING WITH OBAMA. HE OPERATES LIKE A DOOMED XMAS TURKEY

THE FIGHT AGAINST THE STALINIST AND REVISIONIST LEFT MUST BE TAKEN UP

THE TROTSKYIST PARTY MUST BE BUILT TO FORM A UNITED FRONT WITH ALL THOSE JEWS AND NON JEWS WHO WILL FIGHT ON THIS ISSUE

The crisis in the capitalist system is dominating all of the life on the planet, from the extinction of species, to global heating, to these issues of the danger of Shoah facing the Jews.

Millions and millions are being thrown in to crisis. It is necessary to build this Trotskyist leadership and to educate a generation of fighters in the true principles of Trotskyism, which is the language of struggle in our epoch.

Wikipedia is in part a useful giver of information and in other part a mechanism or forum where actual lies are told. But the correction of these lies entails the creation of a revolutionary Trotskyist leadership able to theoretically take up the issues.

We on 4internaional have found that Wikipedia misinformation is prevalent in Serb and Jewish stories.

A good example of the later is on the Wikipedia coverage of the British notorious White Paper of 1939 which was responsible along with the Nazis for the Holocaust of millions of Jews in the camps.

It is necessary to take parts of their article, place it on print and see what the Wikipedia writers are doing

[Start Wikipedia extract on White Paper of 1939]

At the same time, British leaders had an interest in Zionism arising from widespread influence of Evangelism and belief in Jewish economic influence (e.g. Alfred, Lord Milner was employed as Chairman of the Rothschild owned Rio Tinto Zinc some time after 1906). David Lloyd George, the British Prime Minister during World War I had worked closely with the Zionist movement and was an Evangelical preacher.[3] This, and a variety of strategic factors, such as securing Jewish support in Eastern Europe as the Russian front collapsed, culminated in the Balfour Declaration, 1917, with Britain promising to create and foster a Jewish national home in Palestine. These broad delineations of territory and goals for both the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine, and Arab self determination was approved in the San Remo conference.

[End Wikipedia extract here]

The use of the word “Evangelical” may seem a minor matter but it is critical. [I deliberately leave aside the reference to Milner working for a Rothschild company, the target of Protocols of Zion type conspiracy theorists]

Is the writer attempting to bring to the mind of the reader people like Billy Graham or Pat Robertson?

As we have described before there was an authentic movement inside British religious especially on the Protestant side to draw close to the plight of the Jews because of their common ownership of the Bible, the Old Testament.

The writer here is not doing other than bashing religion, which is a feature not of Lenin or Trotsky, but of Stalin and Zinoviev.

Since the Christians like Lord Alfred Balfour were moved to compassion for the persecuted Jews who had been persecuted for 2 years, how could that be other than extremely progressive, in a bourgeois democratic sense, in a truly socialist sense, if you do not want to use the simple word “human sense”

We know that other factors were present but that is a very strong factor indeed.

The proof of that is contained in a fuller knowledge of the facts which the Wikipedia writer obscures. Lord Balfour was part of a Christian trend which was supportive of the Jews, and he was fighting against another anti-Semitic trend inside British politics, and in fact that anti-Semitic trend was to come out on top in a very short time.

That shows that Lord Balfour was quite sincere in his support for the Jews. In fact, he suffered career wise for this support.

The Wikipedia writer can have none of this. People cannot have sincere feelings of support for the Jews. It is a kind of moral relativism. It is affected by the writer probably being a supporter of the “Palestinian” myth and full of hatred for Israel in the present such as the war in Gaza.

When one looks further at the extract above and if one focuses on these words

[Begin extract from words above here]

…culminated in the Balfour Declaration, 1917, with Britain promising to create and foster a Jewish national home in Palestine. These broad delineations of territory and goals for both the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine, and Arab self determination was approved in the San Remo conference

[End extract here]

The first question that arises from the above is whether it was a Jewish national home IN Palestine or whether Palestine was to be set aside as THE Jewish National Home.

The partisan intent of the Wikipedia writer is shown in that this question is not faced up to, but is cunningly glossed over.

But if that is cunning the other salient point from above is downright evil. This is the reverence of the Wikipedia writer to “Arab self determination”.

A clear reading of the Balfour Declaration is thus necessary for truth. Where in the Balfour Declaration is there any reference whatsoever to that term?

This issue is of such gigantic importance in the present, where Israel is coming under sustained attack from the Obama regime, previously also the Bush outfit, to give up its homeland area of JUDEA to accommodate a “Palestine” state that it is necessary to return to it again and again.

We on 4international from our reading of history say that Palestine was to be the Homeland of the Jews and that the action of the British Government in splitting off the huge area of Transjordan, fully 78 per cent, was illegal. Carried out actually by Churchill! That was later to form the independent Arab state of Jordan, sitting on as far as we can see the original homeland area for the Jews.

So was Palestine to be for the Jews of the world to settle on and to make their state where they could be secure from anti-Semitism?

In this series of articles on 4international we will show

That in 1917 there were no Arab people who called themselves “Palestinians”. The term then did not exist as applied to Arabs.

That out of the downfall of the Islamist ottoman Empire a series of Arab states were set up with the help of US and British/French Imperialism, totally believ e it or not 21 states, and the state striven for by Obama and Bush along with Blair and Cameron is NUMBER TWENTY TWO

Not bad going eh!

We on 4international realize that the above statement (inside the 2 bullet points) are really just assertions.

So since this is the internet and anybody can say anything (and they do!) it is necessary to back this up with some precision. We will of course do that.

Netanyahu from the standpoint of the security of Israel is not the worst leader that Israel has had. In fact he may be one of the best.

The problem is that the external situation that Israel finds itself within has changed enormously and is now very challenging. In the face of this situation a new type of leader is needed. It is not really the fault of Netanyahu as an individual person

Hence we say that we give our support, the support of our organization, 4international, to Netanyahu and his government in the face of hostile attacks especially from Britain and the US.

And remember that the Bosnian experience showed us most clearly that these 2 powerful states and their hierarchic leadership are tied in with Islam, in that in Bosnia they allied with the well known Nazi war criminal Izetbegovic, hid his past hid his extreme Nazi Muslim views, and created an alliance between them all against the Serb Christians of Yugoslavia, to eventually wipe Yugoslavia off the map.

So remember whether Ahmadinejad did use those exact words, he and his cohorts in Iran and the Muslim world have made plenty of such statements against Israel.

And one country, Yugoslavia, has indeed been “wiped off the map”.

That could in all rationality also happen to Israel. Happen once it can happen again. At the very least it must be admitted that that reality is in the mix

So once again we defend Netanyahu, just as we defended Milosevic and now defend Karaditz, against the combined forces of Islam and capital imperialism. But we note that such a leadership as represented by Netanyahu is inadequate to meet such powerful despotic forces.

In our previous article on the Goldstone Report we noted that the response of the Israeli Government was late and weak.

That the Goldstone Report was actually a crude plot created by the Tyrant Led UN in order to deligitimize the IDF, the main body defending Israel.

That this was especially timed to block the IDF from acting on its own, which it necessarily has to do, because Obama is on the side of Iran, in order to defang the Iran Nuclear Bomb programme and direct threat to the existence of Israel.

That by now many good and patriotic Israelis are at this moment prisoners in their own country. For example they cannot travel for a holiday or a professional conference in a country such as England or France.

That the Arabs in the area of Judea and Samaria misnamed the “West Bank”, have joined in with this attack on Israel.

That Israel over recent months has been lifting road block mechanisms in order to allow these Arab anti-Semites to travel from there to Israeli cities, where they can do expensive shopping and engage in expensive night clubs etc.

While Israel still collects millions in order to send there to Abbas and on then to Gaza. Is that all not incredible!

Meanwhile there are 2 years in which Arabs have killed in cold blood thousands of Israeli people of all ages.

And as we rightly pointed out, this Goldman Report was in the pipeline for a year and more. Why did the ISRAELI Government not make up a report of its own on those murders, send it to the UN, send it to every newspaper in the world, hold meetings in every country, have its embassies link up with organizations like 4international who are allies of Israel to hold public meetings etc!

Why not indeed! The answer to that is very interesting and important.

Israel is not at all alone but we need to build an organization to show this.

The people of Switzerland just yesterday, the vote is out as I write this, have struck a huge blow against the Iranian Mullahs, and against their US, British and BBC backers. They have voted basically to outlaw the building of Islam Imperialist mosques which are at the very centre of Jihad

It was not on the ballot paper. But it could just as well have been. The good conservative people of Switzerland are in alliance with Israel against the Muslim so called “Palestinian” Arabs. And they also are allies of the Serbs and especially of Radovan Karadzic in their struggle against the Islamists, backed by the US and EU dhimmis, in his struggle in the Hague Kangaroo Court.

The very first response of the EU bureaucrats to the decision to ban minarets in Switzerland is to reach for the “Human Rights Nazis” to reverse the decision of a majority of the Swiss. Same thing in bureaucratic terms as the Irish vote!

This exposes the real nature of the EU, a totally anti democratic reactionary alliance, and forum for Islam.

This brings into line now the study of the work of Bat Yeor, the Egyptian Jewess who has studied Islam, especially the dhimmi aspects of Islam.

Now just watch those EU dhimmis rabbits run for the cover of the Human Rights Nazis who will come in wielding their big cudgel of Human Rights Nazi Legislation against the hapless ordinary European people. How dare they vote against Islam!

We on 4international have our own independent political line. We do not agree with Bat Yeor in that she offers no strategy to fight Islam. She leaves the aspect of defeating Islam hanging in the air.

But her research and analysis is uncanny in its correctness

The Swiss vote is up there, a really courageous action, with the Gates of Vienna and the Knights of Malta decisive and courageous opposition to the Islamic Imperialism

A great beginning to our new era!

The vital need is for our Trotskyist Party to take up the struggle on this and to provide correct leadership

And we say again…Thank you Bat Yeor!

[Begin analysis of the EU and Islam by Bat Yeor here]

The EU’s craven, morally bankrupt stance was sadly consistent with Eurabian policies evident now for three decades. In fact, the EU has been completing a slow metamorphasis into the “Christian” arm of the Pan-Arab world, different in religious observation (or lack of same) but united in its views of Israel and America.

The European Community (EC), and later the EU, has been aligned with Arab policy regarding Israel and the United States since its June 1977 declaration.

Disruption of the Western alliance by separating Europe from America, and the piecemeal destruction of Israel were the pillars of the Euro-Arab alliance that gave birth to Eurabia.

The formation of this tactical alliance can be traced clearly to a document issued 24 years ago. Prompted by fears of Khomeini’s Shi’ite theocracy in Iran, international Arab terrorism and the rise of oil prices, the EC adopted the 1980 Venice Declaration.

This declaration made clear that the EC, under French leadership, had adopted Pan-Arab conditions regarding Israel without qualification, including: the 1949 armistice as Israel’s legitimate borders; Arab sovereignty over East Jerusalem; an Arab Palestinian state; the recognition of the PLO as the sole representative of the Palestinians, as well as its participation in all negotiations, and the obligation of Israel to negotiate with Arafat, exclusively; and the refusal to recognize a separate peace between Israel and any Arab country, for the resolution of the “Palestinian problem.”

By adopting all those conditions (which contradicted UN Resolution 242) Europeans could in turn justify their ahistorical designation of Judea and Samaria as occupied Arab land.

Ultimately, the entire European effort to delegitimize and vilify Israel hinges upon this inaccurate, disingenuous formulation.

In the 1970s and 80s, the Communist bloc and the burgeoning Euro-Arab alliance granted international legitimacy to the denial of Israel’s rights by the PLO. France, and to a lesser extent Germany, directed the entire European Community foreign policy in accord with Arab-Islamic sentiments.

A careful reading of the Venice Declaration (1980), the Fez Islamic Conference (1980), the Amman Arab Summit (1980), and the Taif-Mecca Islamic Summit (1981) reveals the similarities between the European and Arab positions in relation to Israel.

Europe’s modified wording is just a fig-leaf.

This subterfuge allows the EU to pose as a “neutral” agent between Israel and the Arab world and to retain a role in the peace-for-terrorists-process.

At the Durban circus in September 2001, European representatives tried in vain to conceal the anti-American and anti-Semitic animus that permeates Eurabian policies, most visibly through the collusion of Eurabian and Arab NGOs.

And again, during the recently completed International Court of Justice proceedings in The Hague, Eurabian judges employed similar tactics but joined their colleagues from the Muslim world in finding Israel’s anti-terrorist barrier “illegal” (and thus denying the Jewish state its legal right to self-defense).

Beyond a fleeting awareness, the overwhelming majority of Europeans and Americans do not understand the new Eurabian entity, which is only the first step in a steady progression toward its Arabization and Islamization.

Europe has evolved from a Judeo-Christian civilization, with important post-Enlightenment/secular elements, to a “civilization of dhimmitude,” i.e., Eurabia: a secular-Muslim transitional society with its traditional Judeo-Christian mores rapidly disappearing.

This evolution of Europe has been duplicated internally within every EU country.

This deliberate, comprehensive process has taken place through several means: the control of Middle Eastern Studies departments at European universities, and the re-writing of historical textbooks; allowing Euro-Arab bodies to screen cultural exchanges and publications relating to Islam and the Arab Muslim world for unwelcome content; taboos imposed on issues related to immigration and Islam; disinformation campaigns demonizing Israel (and America), while fostering a comprehensive and “brotherly” alliance between EU and Arab League countries on the political, economic, cultural, and social levels; and the servile obedience of the EU’s mainstream media to all these initiatives.

Released last October, this report (whose contributors included Umberto Eco and Tariq Ramadan) was to establish complete interdependence between Europe and the Arab-Muslim world. Romano Prodi, President of the European Commission, established the High-Level Advisory Group which stated the aims, policies, and routine functions of the foundation. The Advisory Group mandated that the foundation have complete financial and administrative independence in managing its budget and in choosing its partners.

In support of this remarkable request, the Advisory Group argued that the foundation needed considerable resources to cover its activities that would be extraordinarily expensive, as they will encompass all the countries of the EU.

The Advisory Group further justified such conditions by invoking its lofty aim, which “is nothing less than peace itself.”

And this “peace” — accomplished through “brotherly love” and “dialogue” between the North and the South of the Mediterranean — will be achieved by a total economic, political, and cultural fusion.

This May (2004), the EU followed this report up by accepting the creation of the Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for the Dialogue of Cultures, named after Anna Lindh, the Swedish minister murdered by a deranged man. Lindh was a staunch defender of Arafat and advocated an economic boycott of Israel by the EU, a policy long desired by Eurabian politicians. Not surprisingly, the Anna Lindh Foundation draws inspiration from the spirit of Edward Said, the late dhimmi ideologue bent upon subverting Western culture, and values.

The Anna Lindh Foundation endeavors to fight what it dubs “Fortress Europe” on Arab immigration issues, and to establish a totalitarian academic structure which alone will be entitled to teach and publish material on the Euro-Arab Mediterranean. It will also monitor the texbooks and university curricula for all of the EU.

Moreover, the Foundation promotes the vision of a unified Euro-Mediterranean world where people are not even defined as being from the North or the South, (terms considered too provocative as they might evoke visions of a once-Christian North and a very Muslim South).

The Euro-Arab continent will instead be populated by an amorphous mass called only “Us,” without acknowledged ethnic, national, or religious features.

In reality, Europe is creating a gigantic Muslim community, or “umma,” which is also inhabited by an anonymous (and precipitously dying) European dhimmi population. One can choose to ignore it, but Eurabia is a tangible entity.

Eurabia has a discernible historical development, and its functionaries are now well entrenched in each European parliament, and at the head of the European Commission.

Often Javier Solana merely parrots the Arab League’s Amr Moussa, or the Palestinian Authority’s Yasser Arafat. Hence Solana’s parrots the pan-Arab refrain that no reforms can be achieved in any Muslim country before the settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict, reiterating the same fatuous statements made by Amr Moussa.

The EU continues to proclaim that all negotiations must be conducted with Arafat alone and that the Middle East conflict is at the center of world politics. Those two assertions were repeated endlessly at the Fez, Amman, and Taif Summits (1980-81).

The EU’s unlimited funds finance anti-Israeli and anti-American campaigns, as well as the “dialogue” industry.

Regarding Israel in particular, it appears as if the EU has become the obsequious mouthpiece of the Arab League.

This Eurabian ethos operates at all levels of European society. Its countless functionaries, like the Christian janissary slave-soldiers of past Islamic regimes, advance a jihadist world strategy.

Eurabia cannot change direction; it can only use deception to mask its emergence, its bias and its inevitable trajectory. Eurabia’s destiny was sealed when it decided, willingly, to become a covert partner with the Arab global jihad against America and Israel.

Americans must discuss the tragic development of Eurabia, and its profound implications for the United States, particularly in terms of its resultant foreign policy realities.

Americans should consider the despair and confusion of many Europeans, prisoners of a Eurabian totalitarianism that foments a culture of deadly lies about Western civilization.

Americans should know that this self-destructive calamity did not just happen, rather it was the result of deliberate policies, executed and monitored by ostensibly responsible people.

Finally, Americans should understand that Eurabia’s contemporary anti-Zionism and anti-Americanism are the spiritual heirs of 1930s Nazism and anti-Semitism, triumphally resurgent.
